I can't get the p2os to function with teleop. I have the p2os board running. When I launch the p2os teleop, it works, but doesn't move (I am aware you have to hold down a button and tried all of them).

thanks in advance,

-Hunter A.

On the pioneer:

The p2os successfully initializes. Now the joystick driver:

Echoing the joystick node, the following error is presented:

Could you please specify the commands you used and be specific on whether you use joystick or keyboard?

The motor must be enabled with the p2os_dashboard.

Hi, This is a general problem people face when they directly use the joystick drivers. I would suggest you to find out how the mapping of the joystick buttons done to give the cmd_vel commands. So test the joystick functions against the cmd_vel outputs using.

rostopic echo /joy

and

rostopic echo /cmd_vel

Please check the teleop_joy launch file as well for the same. This tutorial might be of some help to you to understand about the remapping of the buttons according to the joystick you are using. teleop using the keyboard works straight forward but its better to use joystick for the easy usage.

This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >75 is welcome to improve it.

Hi Park, I get the same problem with you. When I run the program $ roslaunch p2os_launch teleop_joy.launch, it works, but the pioneer doesn't move.

The problem is the same with you when I test "rostopic echo /joy" and "rostopic echo /cmd_vel":

"rostopic echo /joy" works well...but pioneer doesn't work..and "rostopic echo /cmd_vel" are blank when I push the joystick buttons.

Could you solve this problem? I have the same problems with you. I have Pioneer 3-at without built in computer and notebook connected with pioneer using serial to usb cable.

I run the program (roscore, run p2os_dashboard, run p2os_drive, roslaunch telop_joy) and then enable the motor on the dashboard. rostopic lists are the same as you.

"rostopic echo /joy" works well...but pioneer doesn't work..and "rostopic echo /cmd_vel" are blank when I push the joystick buttons. The robot just beeped at regular time period.

I'd like to know ..what the problem is?
